Brother I'm not going to lie. I have watched a million videos over the year about installing lift kits and working on cars in general, I have installed my own lift kids, I just picked up a tundra, and this is the best video guide I have ever seen before I left in general quality lighting angles information in general great video man

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@aldoavak9]

Proper advice for final installation/tightening process would be to lower the truck to the ground letting the suspension settle under the weight of the truck before final tightening of the suspension parts. Unless I missed something, it looks like you tightened everything while it was sagging and hanging on the lift. Not sure that that's correct procedure.

[@Richies_Garage]

This is correct advice but most of the time with lift kits you get an alignment too

[@shanewhittemore]

Brother you have excellent communication skills. Keep up the great work.

[@tonkattundra3781]

I love the fact that your shirt got dirty halfway through the vid thumbs up I'm a subscriber now I have the same exact setup

[@pizzapuffankles]

Awesome and probably best well explained video I’ve seen in a long time

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thank you for the comment and for watching! -Zach

[@MrMoJoRising1978]

Great video! Very informative and just really well done overall. Thanks!

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thank you for watching, Chris! We appreciate the kind words! -Zach

[@davidgrimm1079]

I gave you a thumbs up, how ever I lowered my front end resting the drums of the rotors onto Jack stands. Then I tightend everything to spec. Not doing this can blow out your control arm, shock and sway bar bushings. Great video! 👍

[@speedbuggy9815]

Questions..i did the 3" lift when i reverse or put the truck in 4x4 it make a heavy clum sound like something about to break..any suggestions thanks?

[@davidgrimm1079]

@@speedbuggy9815 Are you sure you lowered the front differential properly? Try loosening all the suspension bolts and retighten with the truck on its tires (no jacks)

[@saltytoyo7048]

Thanks for the video. Helped out doing the install. Working from the ground was tough. Took me 12 hours to do install since it’s been a while since I have wrenched on vehicles. I didn’t do the spacer I went with RC 3.5 coilovers for the front. I installed 35’ tires. The front rubbed a bit. I will be molding or moving bumper forward just a bit

[@nicolasb5613]

I just purchased my RC lift kit with lifted struts. Thanks for this video will help me install

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thanks for watching and best of luck with the install! -Zach

[@nicolasb5613]

I got it installed. Took me almost 2 days, i was having hard time placing the rear spacers. After alignment it runs smooth. No issues so far.0

[@charliebrookes86]

Just got the same kit except got the new coilover option for the front not the spacer rides better than stock

[@papat9099]

My first time for seeing this and I so injoyed the lesson. Don't think I will handle it the 1st time but if I could break your video down into sections I could do it. Thanks

[@melaniosandico6730]

You’re good you explained in detail

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@sendit2873]

if you are working on the ground you can do one side of the rear at a time just leave the u bolts loose till you have both blocks installed then tighten same with a lowering kit same setup just put block in different spot that way you do not need to have extra jacks or fight pinion angle and soak the ubolts for a couple days with breaker or pb blaster to get them off if you only have a ratchet

[@amaurycolon8438]

[@My_Fishingjournal]

This is awesome. Is there the same kit for a 2 or 2.5 lift?

[@charleshall9461]

Also, I believe there is a torque spec for those “U” bolts as he finally mentioned at the end.

[@bluearrow1188]

I have yet to see you use the one thing that is a safety feature and that's your safety glass

[@markphilippsjr]

Well done. But....... now I might want someone else to do it. Little bit of work.... Great Video

[@GaryRobinson1991]

Exactly my thoughts bud 😂 I just can’t see myself spending up to 1k for labor

[@IroncladIndustrial]

[@pnorton75]

What if you run 35's without 1" offset. Surely you diminish mud flap rub, but do you get into suspension interference?

[@adonisjr1488]

My tundra has a 37 1/4 on the front and 39 1/4 on the back would this be good for my truck or would a 2.5 leveling kit be better ?

[@mikephanphotography]

Where can I find the torque specs for each bolt? Don’t want to over tighten or not tighten enough. Thanks nice video!

[@buddyedwards3988]

Did you ever find this?

[@dreadfulbeef7653]

if you have access to anythinkg like pro-demand or alldata you could most likely use the factory torque specs for everything, maybe a few foot lbs looser on the parts that are being lifted, like a couple ft-lbs looser than factor with that spacer in the rear with the longer ubolts

[@jeff-le1tp]

More Tundra Mods on this channel please !

Sir can you do it for my tundra? How much the product and service charge? And where are you located?

[@cheplaysdrums]

Can I do 34-35” on the stock TRD wheels?

Thanks ever so much !

Thank YOU for watching, Johannes! -Zach

[@johnshmid4817]

How is about cv axels angles ??? They will not eat that rubber boot as a candy ?? Just wondering as the diff drop doesn't actually correct the angle and you diff drive shaft angle will change as you just drop a front ... It's not even a diff drop it's a diff tilt ! Can you please explain I'm really curious about those cv joint angles and how long they will actually last ! Thank you

[@enriquegarcia455]

if the rough country is better why after so much money 💰 and work plus the alignment you left the toyota oem shock in the front? 🤔

[@jhonnatanvielman6831]

Nice kit, How much can it cost on labor to install these kit?

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Labor is really going to vary from shop to shop. I'd highly recommend getting in touch with a shop local to you to get an accurate quote. -Zach

[@andynugz3385]

What size wheels are on those 35’s?

[@marcossanchez1564]

Will it take 35s without having to do a body mount chop?

[@bigsmoke279]

I have a 1794 edition Tundra with the upgraded TRD shocks - do I need to buy the RC struts and rear shocks? I don’t plan on doing any crazy off roading. Mainly just looks Edit: I have the same yellow struts. I don’t need them

[@dylanfrickey6766]

Good lift kit except for the strut spacer. Buy the lifted struts. They’re only $400

[@TheIrongutz]

This kit should have come with Billstien 5100 shocks instead of the lower quality RC

[@marcbrown8834]

Life saver! Help me to install my lift kit. Thank you

[@salimlanda4056]

this will only work with 4wd. and i guess if u have 2wd you can only put spacers in the front?

[@sendit2873]

how did the alignment go afterward was it out bad

[@rubenrios1516]

Tools list starts at 4:50

[@djo652]

Hi Joe...Great Video - Two Questions: You have 3 1/2" of additional lift in the front and 2 1/2" of additional lift in the rear. You mentioned the reason for the difference was to compensate for the “rake” so that the truck would now appear level after the lift kit is installed. In my case, I might haul a boat making the back a little heavier. So, the question is, would it be possible to get the rear lift parts at 3” as opposed to 2 1/2” so the back of the truck won’t drop so much when I tow my boat? Also, second question, would installing the rear lifts alter or affect the alignment for the rear tires? If so, I would need to have that realigned but I’m not sure that shops (typical shops like Firestone, etc.) would do that as part of their alignment package. Any info would be helpful.

[@rickeyuson2731]

Id look into getting bags in the rear if you are towing a boat. I towed at max cap on my 35ft boat dry and it was squatting alot

[@pfmtz3]

Anybody have trouble on camera issues after installing for alignment?

[@soulgivesoul07]

Is that a dangerous angle for the tie rods? They seem to be push to their limits.

[@dreadfulbeef7653]

remember that the suspension is under no weight when the truck is hanging in the air, the whole steering knuckle will go up once the tires are on and the truck is on the ground, it'll be fine

[@dreadfulbeef7653]

as the steering knuckle goes up, so does all of the parts connected to it, so the tie rod wont be in that position.

[@steelcityexotics]

what size rims can we put without cutting

[@abh3960]

Will we loose gas milage...

[@migueldorantes7169]

I have vibration on my tundra with a 4 inch lift at like 75 miles on the highway do you have an idea of what it can be ?

[@nicolasb5613]

Check your rear block spacer , the spacer is not perfectly squared, the high part goes towards the front, if you install it the other way, you will have vibration at tje rear as the angle of your axle changed.

[@jmalinowski1000]

How much extra to have those drilled to 25/64th?

[@luiscutz58]

Will a 4WD lift kit fit a 2WD 2010 tundra?

[@cheeseontoastbrah]

All the same just easier with no front driveshafts in the way

[@verduzcoautodetailing3183]

I got some 2 inch supreme leveling kit for the front from extreme terrain and the bolts did not line up with the holes 🤦‍♂️ disappointing

[@verduzcoautodetailing3183]

@Mr. & Mrs. Lilly turns out they did fit after all so yes thank you;)

[@jdenha7078]

I just wish the spacers would've been thicker, they don't seem solid

[@alexlazarus-hall679]

What size wheel is used with the 35 inch tires?

[@danw.3291]

That spacer looks very cheaply made...so thin and questionable welds in my opinion...

[@erikhoreis9229]

He kind skips over the huge pain in the ass it was to tighten the nuts on the front diff. They’re in a really shitty spot and should at least be mentioned. The instructions don’t even speak of them or the wrench needed to get to them.

[@dreadfulbeef7653]

thank you for makeing this clear so i know what im getting into in a week or 2

[@pedroortega2891]

Great video thanks for the info and your time, I want to put it in my tundra pretty soon.

[@hmoob-dab-tsi7572]

Worst way to remove tie rods.

Lots of “Rust” on that suspension!! Just Sayin.

[@DanielFrankHoffman]

You should not have to drill the holes to put in the bolt thumbs down on rough country 👎

[@ncurc9766]

Tundra looks so unproportional from the factory with stock wheels and tires

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Good thing we sell larger tires! 😁 -Zach
